Description
For sale: beautiful 1960 Mercedes 190 SL with 39, 000 km (5-digit odometer)
• Exceptional history: European-original vehicle. First owner from 1960 to 2022—rare, and guaranteeing clear, well-documented traceability (purchase invoice, period documents, etc.). Never been in an accident.
• Authenticity: the interior, engine bay and underbody are all entirely in their original condition, providing a genuine patina that’s hard to find on models that have been restored “as new”.
• Maintenance & Mechanics: Regular use in dry weather. Recent service including:
o New radiator
o Spark plugs and oil change up to date
o MOT (CT) OK
o Weber carburettors—more reliable and easier to set up than the original Solex
• Bodywork: Very good panel alignment. Resprayed 40 years ago (period invoice in Belgian francs available). The paintwork has excellent overall durability despite a few minor age-related imperfections, reflecting the car’s history (small dents or blisters). If you want a concours finish, a repaint would be ideal (budget around €7, 000).
• Equipment:
o New alpaca soft top
o Included “Big Window” hardtop, in very good condition
o Normal registration document (Belgium-style)
Valuation/ Expert report from 2022 at €125, 000
The car is not in concours condition, so the price reflects that—but it is authentic and has a clear, transparent history for a 66-year-old vehicle.
